Double-barreled self-defense pistols: briefly about other types

Below are the brands of other popular "traumas" and their brief characteristics:

1. One of the most powerful models is the traumatic "Osa" pistol. The specimen has a caliber of 15.3 millimeters, and its barrel energy is close to 120 kJ. The first modifications were equipped with four barrels and could easily knock a person off their feet, put horrible bruises and simply make a crack in the skull. As a charge, rubber bullets with a mass of 11.6 grams were used. In subsequent variations, the muzzle energy was reduced to avoid serious injury, nevertheless the gun remained in the list of one of the most powerful in its class.
2. Another domestic development, which is not for nothing called a gun, is a "Shaman" gun. The caliber of weapons is more than 20 millimeters, which according to domestic law is attributed to the artillery group (apparently, hence the nickname "gun"). The standard cartridge 10.5 * 45 mm at a muzzle power of 120 J can easily knock down even the most dimensional person. This specimen is produced in small series by the Tula arms factory and is considered one of the most slaughtered in the category of traumatic weapons.

Cuts of "Houda"

This brand should be noted separately due to the peculiarities of its design. In fact, the weapon is a double-barreled traumatic pistol in the form of a cut from a hunting rifle. The name comes from the brand of English large-caliber saddle pistols. This option is designed as a weapon for self-defense and hunters for large game and predators. The charge in the form of a rubber bullet is equipped with a brass sleeve of 12 gauge up to 35 millimeters in length.

The parameters of this cutoff allow it to be used as a defense of the house or other private property. This is due to its massiveness and decent weight. The effect of damage from such weapons is more effective than that of 9-caliber pistols. It is worth noting that the "Houda" without recharging is only capable of two shots, and re-activation requires skill and the application of both hands. Among the shortcomings, there is also a rough finish of the outer parts of the cutoff.

In conclusion

Initially, traumatic weapons were manufactured by reducing and processing combat models of pistols. In this field the world famous is the short revolver "Bulldog", which was equipped with a truncated barrel with four muzzle holes. Later appeared a variety of imitations not only of this revolver, but also of "TT", "Makarov", "Browning", "Beret" and other variations. Modern modifications are made of lighter, but not less practical materials, have good characteristics and are excellent for self-defense.
